We are in form and if as I expect the management handle Max's departure well there is no reason why we cannot continue the hard work and chalk up another win 3-0 to the Reds.
The fa cup is an issue though. Aston Villa were forced to field a team of kids v Liverpool as the schedule wouldn’t allow for a postponement. Our only option, if that rule applies is to forfeit the tie What an expensive cuddle they had, about 100k thrown away.

Watch this space
Crawley and Bournemouth aren't playing in Europe though. There should be a chance to reschedule the tie without causing too much disruption.
And the person/s who caught covid and infected the others could have picked it up anywhere, there's no evidence it was because of the dressing room celebrations.
8 days after those Leeds dressing room celebration scenes, doesn’t look very good at all
It doesn't and no doubt will be used against the club, football and sport. I hope those affected by this awful Covid are ok and soon back on their feet and we can get back to football.
Are the postponement rules different for the FA Cup might we have to field youngsters so we have enough?
who was the guy with glasses in the video of the champagne flowing in the dressing room? Some people should NOT have been in that dressing room I'm strongly suggesting and the club (And no doubt FA) will now want to investigate. Yes it could've been caught anywhere but lets be honest scenes like that did not help us at all.
According to the FA rules, the Professional Game Board will consider each postponement on its own merits. However, if both teams have 14 players fit and registered, matches must (must!) go ahead. If a club has to postpone then the Professional Game Board is "likely" to award the tie to their opponents.
The FA will take all factors into consideration when considering if matches can be rescheduled but in this event, matches must be able to be played before the next round.
Tricky - nobody is sure yet what the PGB will make of this and the likely timings. With the Fifth Round due to be played on the 10th February, this gives us and Bournemouth two midweeks before then.
We are due to play Walsall on Tuesday the 26th January and Leyton Orient on Tuesday the 2nd February. Bournemouth play Reading on Friday the 29th January, Sheffield Wednesday on the 2nd February and Birmingham on the 6th February - so two packed schedules.
A lot depends on how willing the FA are to re-arrange fixtures.
The isolation period is for ten days from when you had symptoms, had a positive test or ten days from when you were in contact with someone with those...if you get symptoms in that time start counting the days again.
No numbers given of players who have tested positive or have the disease but presuming a test came back positive yesterday we should be back in action by Thursday next week.
To any players or staff affected I wish a full and quick recovery.
iFollow - genuine question (I wondered this on Saturday).
If you have paid your £10 to watch tonight, is it an automatic refund or credit for another game, the rearranged date, etc ?
ST holder myself so not an issue, just I wondered had I paid for Bradford what would have happened.
Thanks.
I'm still waiting for a refund from an away games weeks ago so don't expect lightening speed on any front there! Auto refund unprompted - doubt it we are talking ifollow here!

JOHN YEM'S RED ARMY!
After all the heroics of the last 2 rounds if we were go go out unable to fulfil the fixture or playing youth teamers (I genuinely wonder have we enough players?) it would be a real blow and disappointment.
